Shawn C. Baker
Shawn lives in sometimes sunny San Pedro, California with his beautiful wife Sara and their two cats Lily and Thompson. He works full time at a bookstore for bread but spends 90% of the rest of his time writing novels, screenplays and opinionated soapboxes that, although sometimes crass, are really just meant tomake the world a better place. Shawn drinks coffee all day and good beer all night. He loves comics even more than he loves movies, but he loves music most of all.
